WHAT KILLsAMERICANS.

Inc dlaIIiliiiS uiSo"oO VI ouAo
country is nervous eebility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the san"a complaint.
Hospitals and tie institu-
tons for r@',y..r ,atients are
crowded. ',Ae ayegage of Life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and p,,.'lic men are so
frequent as scar;-e'y to excite
remark. The ma ".lty OF sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, O. Taderso-called
depression OF SPIRITS" are
really promr+a.' by nervous
prostration, Nj j is a fruitful
source of in<,,, ~ and crime
with all Their 80, and horror.
These faces ere startling.
They threaten j.e very lite OF
the nation. Iacy assail the
springs Of its lower and pros
perity. They wreck manhood,s
strength AID woman's useful
ness and beauty
Every one should know the
causes. N'A&s are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the.fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and !
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure OF success. So we
burn LIES candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
fish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as j,
is seated in the Nerves and Ill
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nut: Jon. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its walnlngs:-head
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain: wakefulness;
loss of aprctite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest il ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly an ~e:.;;ly but power
fully upon tnc''.o"Ier>d stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting tie aecr};;or ofbile, ex-
polling w ,c matters from the
system, am ,.yl;;-' ying the blood.
Upon tie nervous system
Shaker E.etroct(seigeI
acts as q safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nerv-
Gus dyspeDt;cs have been re-
stored b. It from the depths
of misery to 9 fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatment
